Proverbs 15:11 (ESV): "Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man!"

This is an example of synthetic parallelism — the second line builds on and intensifies the first (if Sheol and Abaddon are exposed to God, all the more so human hearts). It is not synonymous (it doesn’t merely repeat), nor antithetical (it doesn’t contrast), and "perpendicular parallelism" is not a standard category.
